New greenhouse construction

excellent , very nice and clean lines, wish you the best

Thank you so much all! When I first got interested in orchids I lived with my parents. Dad always supported me in anything I did and so we built a small 8' X 8' greenhouse. That filled so quickly that we "added" a 16" X 16" to it. Dad always spent time in it with me and enjoyed it so much. After I got married he stopped heating it but still used it for starting seeds for his garden and taking Azalea cuttings. The years passed. I married, divorced, and remarried. At the beginning of last year Dad had an accident that left him in a wheelchair and unable to care for himself. I became his 24/7 caregiver. It was both one of the most rewarding and difficult times of my life. Dad developed difficulties and passed on Dec. 2 at a wonderful age of 89. We talked so much during that year and he told me that it would be nice to build another greenhouse. He left me a nice amount of money - enough to help us a bit and to build my dream. Thank you Dad. I love you so much. I just wanted all of you to share the story of how I came to build the greenhouse and I guess how I got to this point.

Great looking GH. Such a touching story Wade.

Sorry for your lost and thank for impressive memory with your dad

Sorry to hear about your dad and sharing a touching story. Sure dad will be watching this and showering his blessings on you and your new greenhouse.

This is awesome ! More room for even more orchids :)

Congrats. I cannot wait to see it full ;)

Wade,
I am so excited for you! And, very, very jealous :hehehe::hehehe:

So, while we wait for it to be completed. What is your wish list to fill it with?

Wade, best of luck with your new greenhouse looks great and thank you for sharing such a beautiful story.

I'll probably have a good number of species. I seem to have a fondness for the Australian line of Dendrobium breeding. Also Cattleya alliance and Oncidium alliance hybrids. If I see something interesting I'll most likely give it a try. One of my big challenges is to find an area to do some breeding in. That will require some luck to bloom some award quality plants to use. I don't like to use anything less than the best quality available to breed. I feel it is deserving to anyone getting a seedling of mine to know that there was thought and effort involved in what I offer. That will require some luck and some planning and I plan to enjoy every step of the way. :)
